Komentaryos/Notes
This domain is based on speech from Eliezer Bivas, Silvo Ovadya, and Israel "Izzet" Bana, all speakers from Istanbul. It was edited by Rachel Bortnick (Izmir).
Trash: there are many ways to say this.
chop comes from the Turkish çöp and is more common in Istanbul.
esierko has many variants: esierko, esierkol, sierkol, estierko, estierkol. Rachel, from Izmir, says esierko, and speakers from Istanbul who don't say chop (as well as the Perahya Ladino-Turkish dictionary) seem to prefer sierkol.
Kitchen: kuzina and mupak are both ways to say this.
kuzina is more common in Izmir.
mupak comes from the Turkish mutfak (originally borrowed from Arabic) and is more common in Istanbul.
